  • Patent number: 8701979
    Abstract: In the cabling work aiding system, the RFID reader reads the RFID attached to at least one of the terminal, its terminal block, and cable member. A cabling work terminal device is connected to the RFID reader. The device is comprised of: a data base that records a template connection diagram containing the terminal-side RFID region constituted by RFID data as to the terminal and a cable-side RFID region constituted by RFID data as to the cable member; a relating part that relates the RFID read by the RFID reader to the terminal-side RIFD region and the cable-side RIFD region defined in the template connection diagram; a terminal-cable member correspondence table preparing part that prepares a correspondence table for leading correspondence between the RFID data as to the terminal and RFID data as to cable member from correspondence between the terminal-side RIFD region and the cable-side RFID related by the RFID read by the RFID reader.

  • Patent number: 8564440
    Abstract: When an RFID is attached to an object to assist testing operations, the following problems are encountered; (1) the RFID of write type tends to cause a failure and is troublesome due to the necessity of rewrite each time the situation is changed, (2) the incorporation of the reader function in a terminal block increases the cost, and (3) the known techniques are targeted for only the connecting operation and are not adapted for a sequence test that takes the most expense in time and effort. The operations are aided by using an RFID reader and a terminal having the function for accessing a database of circuit information, RFID information, and test procedure information.

  • Patent number: 8476892
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to prevent a human error, greatly reducing man-hours and to securely identify a core. To achieve the object, a request for a serial number is first made via a conductor of a core from a recognition unit that functions as a master to a recognition unit that functions as a slave. Next, the recognition unit as the slave reads a serial number for an IC tag and transmits the serial number via the conductor of the core. The recognition unit as the master receives the serial number transmitted from the recognition unit as the slave and collates the serial number and a serial number stored in an IC tag. It is ascertained by the collation that the conduction of the core is correctly made and it is displayed on a display of the recognition unit as the master and others that no disconnection on the way and no error in selecting an end of wiring are caused.

  • Patent number: 8395804
    Abstract: A RFID registration system is provided with a reader for reading an ID of an object to be identified by an RFID, an RFID existence position indicating the position of the RFID, and the RFID; an associating apparatus for associating the read RFID with the ID of the object to be identified by the RFID, a position information generation apparatus for obtaining the read position at the same time the position has been read, and a collation apparatus for obtaining an ID of the object to be identified by the RFID based on the read position and the RFID existence position. The RFID registration system can be avoid making the mistaken association between the RFID and the object to which the identification ID is attached.

  • Patent number: 8271693
    Abstract: A cable connection support apparatus has a structure in which a master apparatus and a slave apparatus are connected to both ends of a plurality of cables, and each apparatus is connected to each cable by a connecting terminal. The master apparatus and the slave apparatus are grounded. The master apparatus makes, for each connected cable, an inquiry about a position of a terminal of the slave apparatus to which the cable is connected, and inspects for inter-continuity, grounded connection, and unintentional disconnection. The connection destinations and inspection results are displayed on a display apparatus. Consequently, the connection condition for each cable wire in a cable can be confirmed.
